General Discussion. Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus is a rare heart condition characterized by abnormal positioning of the heart. In this condition, the tip of the heart (apex) is positioned on the right side of the chest.
Disease definition. A rare, genetic, developmental defect during embryogenesis characterized by total mirror-image transposition of both thoracic and abdominal viscera across the left-right axis of the body.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R65. 11: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) of non-infectious origin with acute organ dysfunction.
Diagnosis. A thorough physical examination, followed by radiographic imaging of the chest and abdomen and electrocardiography, identify most cases of situs inversus. The main diagnostic challenge in affected people is the non-traditional presence of referred pain (pain felt in a different location than its source).Jun 1, 2015
Another way situs inversus may be discovered is when a doctor listens to a patient's heartbeat. The heartbeat is typically loudest at the lower point of the heart on a person's left side. But a person with situs inversus can have a heart that points to the right, so the heartbeat would be loudest on that side.
Situs describes the position of the cardiac atria and viscera. Situs solitus is the normal position, and situs inversus is the mirror image of situs solitus (see the image below). Cardiac situs is determined by the atrial location.May 31, 2018
Kartagener's syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic ciliary disorder comprising the triad of situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. The basic problem lies in the defective movement of cilia, leading to recurrent chest infections, ear/nose/throat symptoms, and infertility.
Abstract. Heterotaxy syndrome (Situs ambiguus) is a condition in which the internal organs are abnormally arranged in the chest and abdomen. Individuals with this condition have complex birth defects affecting the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, intestines, and other organs.Jan 30, 2020
N10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Organ dysfunction is defined as an abnormality or impairment in the function of a specified bodily organ or system. Organ failure is defined as dysfunction to such a degree that normal homeostasis cannot be maintained without external clinical intervention.Jun 13, 2016
Organ failure: The failure of an essential system in the body. Multiple organ failure is the failure of two or more systems, such as the cardiovascular, and renal systems, and is a common consequence of sepsis (the presence of bacteria in the bloods) and of shock (very low blood pressure).
Situs inversus (also called situs transversus or oppositus) is a congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal positions. The normal arrangement of internal organs is known as situs solitus while situs inversus is generally the mirror image of situs solitus.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 759.3 was previously used, Q89.3 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Q89.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of situs inversus. The code Q89.3 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code Q89.3 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like agnathia, holoprosencephaly, situs inversus syndrome, complete situs inversus with dextrocardia, congenital malposition of heart, dextrocardia, dextrocardia/situs inversus finding , immotile cilia syndrome, etc. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.
Heterotaxy syndrome Heterotaxy syndrome is a condition in which the internal organs are abnormally arranged in the chest and abdomen. The term "heterotaxy" is from the Greek words "heteros," meaning "other than," and "taxis," meaning "arrangement.".
For example, the heart, spleen, and pancreas are on the left side of the body, and most of the liver is on the right. This normal arrangement of the organs is known as "situs solitus.". Rarely, the orientation of the internal organs is completely flipped from right to left, a situation known as "situs inversus.".
LEVOCARDIA-. congenital abnormalities in which the heart is in the normal position levocardia in the left side of the chest but some or all of the thorax or abdomen viscera are transposed laterally situs inversus. it is also known as situs inversus with levocardia or isolated levocardia. this condition is often associated with severe heart defects and splenic abnormalities such as asplenia or polysplenia.
Unlike situs inversus, the abnormal arrangement of organs in heterotaxy syndrome often causes serious health problems.Heterotaxy syndrome can alter the structure of the heart, including the attachment of the large blood vessels that carry blood to and from the rest of the body.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code Q89.3:
Most birth defects happen during the first 3 months of pregnancy. One out of every 33 babies in the United States is born with a birth defect. A birth defect may affect how the body looks, works or both. Some birth defects like cleft lip or neural tube defects are structural problems that can be easy to see.
A congenital defect in which the heart is located on the right side of the thorax instead of on the left side (levocardia, the normal position). When dextrocardia is accompanied with inverted heart atria, a right-sided stomach, and a left-sided liver, the combination is called dextrocardia with situs inversus.
A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition. A congenital defect in which the heart is located on the right side of the thorax instead of on the left side (levocardia, the normal position).
Situs inversus with levocardia. Clinical Information. Congenital abnormalities in which the heart is in the normal position ( levocardia) in the left side of the chest but some or all of the thorax or abdomen viscera are transposed laterally (situs inversus). It is also known as situs inversus with levocardia, or isolated levocardia.
POA Help. "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are considered POA. Q24.1 is considered exempt from POA reporting.
